I think most of us were born with very small boobs, LadyGracie! grin

I was 34D, sometimes DD, for many years and always found M&S Total Support bras an ideal fit. Annoyingly, some of the designs only started at 36.

I'm so glad I was born with very small boobs, my SIL suffers, I feel for you all

Bravissimo have a good selection if you need a large cup size bra. I wear a 34E Fantasie full cup style which fits well and is comfortable.

I have D cup, non wired bras and have never found anything supportive or comfy enough in M&S. Mind you haven't looked for a couple of years. I buy mine from Berlei.com by email.

A few years ago I went into J. Lewis in in Oxford St. and got properly measured . The lady recommended the Triumph Doreen bra and I've been wearing it ever since. (Not the same bra!)You can buy them online.
Up to then I had been buying 38B, and found I should have 34E.
They're not boned or underwired.

i bought two new bras at M and S on Tuesday and they are so comfortable. I had help from a lovely assistant who although she was not allowed to measure, she sure knew her stuff when it came to bras!!! She went back and forth from the changing room until the perfect one was found. I have kept the cardboard with the details which was attached to the little hangers so that i can re order them on line and will know they will fit.

For daily use I wear a M & S sports bra quite tightly fitting , I've always hated being a large size and I find that a sports bra minimises my boobs and is far more comfortable.

I'm like you jordana, tried lots of different kinds, none are comfy. I hate it!

Yes jordana - I could have written your post! I now only wear pull on bras from Sainsburys.

Groan. A minefield. I have scars from surgery and anything but a pull on seamless is a no go area.

I've just bought some from John Lewis and they are fine. They are underwired, balcony but can't remember the make.

For years I have been buying bras from Marks but for months I have been trying them on in shop, think they fit at the time and then at home find them extremely uncomfortable and have to return them. I have tried expensive and cheap, under wired and not and am having no luck. I am at the moment wearing a sports bra from asda! Is this an age thing, when everything goes south? I get so hot and bothered trying half a dozen on in the shops. Benn measured in marks and john lewis - different sizes! Anyone else have same problems?
